Hi, I'm Hieu.

MS | Brand Strategist/Manager | Creative Problem Solver

My goal: To find the human truth.

Since 7th grade I've played and written music in multiple local bands, and I learned how to capture human emotions through my musical experiences. Since then, I've been obsessed with finding the human truth.

What is the human truth? It is the lyrics behind the melody, the reason why you get up in the morning, the past that helped shape your present, the why and the how that fostered the deeper meaning behind human behavior.

This curiosity for finding the human truth led me to attend VCU Brandcenter after graduating from Longwood University with a B.S. in Marketing and to pursue a career in advertising and branding. I believe that when you fully understand people as humans, you can adequately provide business solutions to their everyday problems and that is my ultimate goal as a brand strategist.

Three things you should know about me.

Music is Life.

I'm a music fanatic! I'll never be too busy to explore new tunes, attend live shows, or learn another musical instrument. I'll listen to anything between Blink-182 to Drake to Linkin Park to Florida Georgia Line to Journey. Music is the gateway to the soul, and there is no life without music.

If I was a sitcom character,

I'd be a mixture of Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani according to my friends. I'm the guy that makes silly comments to brighten up the day and make people laugh. I apologize in advance for my goofiness.

Dogs. Just dogs.

When I'm bored, I look up random memes and gifs of dogs. I'm a huge dog person, even though I'm slightly allergic to some. Expect to receive some dog memes and gifs from me from time to time.
